121mm Race Face...

If your using the Forged LP turbine's you will have to use an adjustable 121mm (hard to find) so you can clear the non-drive side swingarm and set (as much as you can) the chain line on the drive side. I had this set-up on on my 2001 Jekyll 700LTD (sold it for an '04).

Most shops won't install this set-up because the spindle is way to far outside the bearings on the non-drive side. Get a Strong one I think mine was a Race Face ChromeMoly square taper I never had any problems. I'm 205lbs and did occasional 4-5ft drops (at the most) on my Jekyll.

Okay, I got it installed but it just BARELY clears the swingarm. I'll bet it's about a millimeter of clearance. However, I ride my jekyll on the most aggresive XC setting. If I slackened the geometry I might gain a teeny tiny bit more clearance. I am not sure that I like having BB shell threads exposed on the drive side either. Anyway it DOES work. Thanks for the help.
